American drivers kill 50K per year in this country with that deadly weapon. Most often, I suspect, operator error is the root cause.

*groans in sympathy*
I have two young drivers in the family now. The second one *seems* to be handling it well. We have been talking a lot about defensive driving, and the fact that 'dead right' is still dead. :ph34r: He is a more cautious individual by nature, so the lessons are likely to take, I think.
The first one added a few more grey hairs as he learned. His cocksure attitude about his own reflexes and knowledge of the car he was driving was a problem. I hope we have him cured of that now. I wish I could be sure. :o
